As the issue is now out, I'm allowed to reveal my artwork was selected as the cover of What the Dickens? magazine, in the creative teams' own words a 'bi-monthly magazine for writers, readers and all literary types'.

What the Dickens? Issue 2 cover

WTD? Issue 2 focuses on the dual themes of Charles Dickens and Love. While the latter is a common theme for February due to Valentine's Day falling smack-dab in the middle of the month, Dickens-themed celebrations will also be seen throughout February due to the author's bicentenary taking place on the 7th.

I was approached by WTD's lovely editor, Victoria, as my Great Expectations themed-art was a sort of marriage (no pun intended) of the two themes.

Here are some sketches I've been doing in the evenings to wind down - based on old photographs from the Victorian and Edwardian era. (These are concept sketches of characters from the Discworld novels.)
